 Happy (Fingers Crossed) October Everyone! Let's Kick Off This Spooky Month With Betty Boop! See, I've already matched the number of posts from last month! But anyways guys happy October and lets hope something bad doesn't happen this month... I'm going to knock on wood for that one... But since I'm going to be posting more this month, I thought I'd kick of the celebration of horror with none other than, Betty Boop!  "What the hell does Betty Boop have to do with horror?" You may be asking yourself right now. Well friend, just a few months ago I would have thought the same thing, but then, I actually watched a few of the old cartoons. And yeah, they're basically horror. I was pretty surprised to find this out, but hey it was very entertaining. If you like old school cartoons you might enjoy Betty Boop. If you're a horror fan and a bit skeptical that Betty Boop doesn't fit the October spirit, just watch these cartoons: But anyways guys, I ...

True Blood Show Review Better Than I Thought It Would Be So, I watched True Blood... is the main character a literal walking dumb blond joke? Yes. Is the show a bit cliche? Yes. Is True Blood absolutely hilarious? Yes. This is perhaps one of the funniest vampire shows or media I've seen. True Blood follows Sookie Stackhouse ( Anna Paquin ) a telepathic waitress at a local small town bar in Bon Temps Louisiana. She hears everyone's thoughts, except when one night a vampire named Bill ( Stephen Moyer) walks in. Vampires have come out of the coffin and the whole world now knows about them. Sookie and her friends and family soon get themselves entangled into a darker world than they thought they knew. There is way to many characters to mention in one review. But I will give a big round of applause for this cast, because they looked like they had one hell of a good time making True Blood . I will warn you,  DO NOT show this show to younger viewers. You've heard o...

The Descent Movie Review Better Than It Looks So, the other night one of my friends came over and we watched the 2005 horror flick, The Descent and the film surpassed my expectations. The Descent follows a group of women as they go off exploring a cave as a bonding experience. They soon get trapped in the cave and have to find their way out, but what they don't expect is the creatures which lurk down below. When the movie started, it came off as your run of the mill style B film, or so I thought. Yes, the movie does go through the tropes  of the genre, but the actors know what they're doing and aren't completely helpless. What I really love about this film is that even though our band of characters are terrified by what they encounter, they learn to adapt. The Descent does an excellent job of show, don't tell. I was very surprised by how they keep it consistent throughout the entire flick. What's even more impressive is the fact that the cave scenes wh...

Happy October Everyone! It's that time of year again! You'll be seeing more horror reviews coming out this month or horror related topics. Sorry for my absence again, I will be posting more in October, and I do have a review scheduled to come out an hour after this post goes live. I won't be making a post every day like last year, but you can expect to this blog to be a little more active.  Time has just been flying by, and it seems like it was just yesterday I got home from vacation in Virginia . If you want to check out some horror flicks while you're waiting for more uploads, type in the search bar up top, "31 Posts Of Halloween" It'll be my list from last year. Wow, I can't believe it's been a year since then. Time really flies.  Anyways, I'm a little happy that it should be around the time for things to start to get cozy again. I'm happy to be making a few more posts on the blog, cause I really haven't been doing as much as ...

So, it has come to that time of year again! October! So with the month of fear rolling around, I am going to be making one post every day with something Halloween related. It will mostly be movie reviews, but I might throw in one or two book reviews, and maybe even one tv show review. So most of the posts made, I have already created earlier this year, but if there is a specific movie that you would recommend that I review, tell me in the comments. I may just get to the movie you recommend, and you might see it as a bonus review for my first year of 31 Posts Of Halloween!
